Yuanyang Farming Story

Chapter 31

After eating the last two packs of traditional Chinese medicine, Xiao Su's ears are basically connected to the normal level. At the suggestion of the master teacher, Xiao Xiu began to cook some herbal diets with a consolidating therapeutic effect for Xiao Su to eat on a daily basis.Although the appearance or taste of these herbal diets were not very good, Xiao Su was very supportive and ate them all!
At this time, the good woman has already started to prepare the things that Xiaosu will use to go to the grave.A bowl of green vegetables, a bowl of tofu, a bowl of braised pork, and a piece of fried fish are all for the ancestors to eat.In addition to these good women, they also prepared a lot of gold ingots, silver ingots, money beams, joss sticks, and high rises.These are all used when going to the grave.

In fact, this is the time when the good woman prepares such a sumptuous dish for the ancestors to visit the grave. In the past, it was mostly a bowl of green vegetables, a bowl of tofu, and a small bowl of meat.But this time, not only the living conditions at home have been greatly improved, but the most important thing is that Xiao Su's ears can recover. I must thank the ancestors for their blessings on this matter.In the good woman's mind, Xiaosu's ears healed so quickly only when the ancestors blessed her!
The next day, Xiaoxiu and Xiaosu went to the grave with their things.The cemetery is in the field in the west of the village. There is a grave to the east and a grave to the west. Although the general environment has changed, Xiao Su still found the grave quite quickly.The grandfather of the Su family and the grandmother of the Su family were buried together in the same grave, while the graves of the Su family's father and the Su family's mother were separated by a few rows.

Xiaosu took Xiaoxiu to worship at the graves of the Su family's grandfather and Su's grandmother.Xiaosu put Gao Sheng silently, and Xiaoxiu quietly placed all kinds of sacrifices on the grave.Three small wine glasses were placed in front of the grave, and rice wine was poured one by one, and candles were lit. Xiao Su held three sticks of incense and knelt down in front of the grave: "Grandpa, grandma, Xiao Su's ears are healed! Thank you grandpa and grandma for your spirit in heaven." The grandson prepared some food today, and grandparents came to eat some."

Xiao Su wanted to say a lot, but that was all she could say.My parents left early, but my grandparents have always been by my side. Many things and a lot of care are given by them. When I first joined the army, I thought about my grandpa and grandma the most. They saved their comrades on the battlefield. At that moment, Xiao Su thought that she would be able to be with them in the future, but when she woke up, she realized that was not the case.

Turning her head to look at Xiaoxiu who was melting gold ingots and silver ingots, Xiaosu silently said to her grandparents in her heart: "Grandma, I have found someone who is willing to treat me well. Marry her in, and let her give birth to a fat boy for the Su family earlier. By the way, the good woman is also in good health..."

After putting incense on the graves of the Su family's grandparents, Xiao Su and Xiao Xiu continued to fight on the graves of Su's parents and Su's mother.The same process, put the high rise, put the sacrifices, pour the wine, light the candles and burn the incense, and then burn the ingots.Although it doesn't sound like much, it took a lot of time to do the same thing. When Xiao Su and Xiao Xiu returned home from the cemetery in the west of the village, they were already in full swing.

I don't know if it was affected by going to the grave, Xiaosu's mood is a little bit wrong.Xiaoxiu just poured him a glass of water and didn't bother him anymore.A man always needs an independent space to think.Just as Xiao Su was thinking, Xiao Xiu ran back to the space again.Because this time Xiaoxiu had a new idea.

There are more mulberry trees in the red soil, Xiaoxiu plans to get some baby silkworms to raise.Since ancient times, Jiangnan has been a place rich in silk.So many people in the village have silkworm eggs.Xiaoxiu's family asked for a second one, and the west's family asked for another one. "Xiu, why do you think of needing silkworms?" It's just the beginning of spring, and it's still early to raise silkworms.

"Auntie, it happens that there is a mulberry tree behind the house, so I thought about raising silkworms, and I could exchange some money." Of course Xiaoxiu wouldn't tell the truth.Originally, this family asked for some silkworm eggs, and the quantity would not be very large. After hearing Xiaoxiu's correspondence, it's fine.After returning home, Xiaoxiu took out all the silkworm eggs she wanted, and counted about twenty.And there are at least hundreds of them on a piece of this paper.

For this batch of new silkworm eggs, Xiaoxiu had to spend her time thinking again.The Su family had raised silkworms before, so some things they needed could be found in the bastard room, but they hadn't been used for many years and needed to be repaired before they could be used.Of course, this repair work was done by brother A Cai.When everything is ready, Xiaoxiu will move into the space with Xiaosuquan's help.

But before moving in, Mr. Kulisu had already tidied up a wing room in the courtyard.In fact, there were not many things piled up in the house before, just a few wooden boxes, and the young couple opened the things in the boxes. They were all books, and they were still books that they couldn't understand. According to Xiaoxiu's understanding, These books are either big compilations or small compilations.

Xiao Su moved these things into the wing room next door, freeing up a place to stock the silkworms.To be honest, Xiaoxiu regards the money-making activity of silkworm raising as a relatively easy and sustainable thing.And Xiaoxiu has an advantage.That is Xiaoxiu has a courtyard house.Others may raise silkworms in different seasons, considering whether the output of mulberry leaves is enough for silkworms to eat, or various other issues.But Xiaoxiu will not have such a problem.

The courtyard is like spring all year round and the temperature is absolutely suitable, and the things raised in the space are free from pests, and according to Xiaoxiu's visual inspection, the big mulberry tree in the red soil is enough to supply the food intake of silkworm babies in the early stage.Even so, Xiaoxiu decided to go to the field to dig a few mulberry trees and plant them.Because Xiaoxiu wants to raise silkworm babies batch after batch.

The current silkworm eggs are all asked for by neighbors. This batch of silkworm eggs is all hatched in the courtyard, and when they grow from silkworm babies to silkworm cocoons, they can be saved.In that way, Xiaoxiu would not have to ask other people for silkworm eggs, and would be able to harvest at least three or four times a year.In that way, Xiaoxiu's income for one year can be compared to others' income for three or four years.

After Xiaosu helped Xiaoxiu prepare all these things, almost half a month has passed, and Xiaosu will go to work in the meat joint factory in a few days.

"Xiao Su will go to work in a few days. I heard that the salary in their factory is 40 to [-] yuan a month. What will you do with the money then?" After dinner and washing the dishes, Xiaoxiu As usual, he dragged Xiao Su into the courtyard to play.The good woman is already familiar with the strangeness. At the beginning, she was afraid that the two young people would miss the day when they just tasted the taste, but later found that there was no delay between the two, so the good woman didn't say anything.

"What are you doing?" Xiao Su touched her head, recalling the way her grandparents got along with each other. At that time, the money in the family was always managed by grandma, and grandma would take it out of the box when the money was needed. . "I'll take care of the money. I don't need anything now. If the family needs money, I'll get it from you."

"Then you need to earn more money. I've already thought of many places to spend money." Xiaoxiu felt very comfortable in her heart. The man was in charge of the outside and the woman was in charge of the house, so things were discussed. This kind of life was the most comfortable.The most important thing is that Xiaoxiu feels that Xiaosu handing over all the money to her management is a kind of recognition, a very strong recognition.

"What do you want to buy?" Xiao Su felt that her life was already good, with food and clothing.

"You haven't heard that communism requires lights and telephones upstairs and downstairs, as well as a TV and a washing machine in the house." Xiaoxiu remembers that there was a saying before, but Xiaoxiu forgot how to say it, but I still remember roughly What are you talking about.After thinking about it again, not only TVs and washing machines, but also air conditioners and refrigerators, and more than one.

"Upstairs and downstairs, lights and telephones. Xiaoxiu, do you think of a house?" Xiao Su saw a small sun room with a second house when she was outside, so it was upstairs and downstairs.

"Of course we have to build a house. I've already planned to build a small three-story house with lights, a telephone, a TV, a refrigerator, and a washing machine." Xiaoxiu was already thinking about what the house would be like. How should the room be allocated, and what is the orientation?The procedures for the homestead have been completed long ago.

"Xiaoxiu, calculate how much the small Yangfang of these three houses cost. I'll make money!" Xiaosu really has no idea about this.But Xiaoxiu is even more numerous.I have never owned a house since I was a child. In the past, housing prices were so high that they cost tens of thousands of yuan per flat. I really felt that I could not earn a house of my own even if I earned a lifetime of money.

"I don't know, at least tens of thousands of yuan!" Xiaoxiu suddenly felt that she was too ahead of her time. Many people are still living in grass houses and are transforming into flat houses made of bricks. The brick house where Fuqi lived directly in the previous generation is now going to live in the small Yangfang, will it scare Xiao Su away?

So Xiaoxiu said again: "Our current house is not bad, why don't we save money for a few years before building a house." Xiaosu nodded.I figured it out in my heart, I work in a meat joint factory, and my salary is [-] to [-] per month, and it is only [-] to [-] per year. I really need to use some other brains to start a house.

Xiaoxiu is also calculating how much money she can earn in a year. The six piglets will grow fat by the end of the year, and each pig can be sold for at least 400 yuan. After deducting the money for buying piglets, she can earn two to three hundred and one piglets. , six heads is one thousand seventy-eight.Usually, the money for selling vegetables can be sold for 100 or 3000 yuan in each market, four times a month, and more than [-] points a year.There is also the money for silkworm cocoons, roughly calculated, it can be [-] to [-] yuan a year.It seems that we still need more ways to think about several ways to save money and start a house earlier!

However, Xiaoxiu has one more thing in mind. Xiaosu was born on the eighth day of February. Xiaoxiu wanted to give Xiaosu some gifts, and the family had a small birthday behind closed doors.In addition, Xiao Su will also go to the meat joint factory to make purchases at that time, and needs two clothes to support the facade.The clothes Xiaoxiu in this town always feel that they look very rustic, so I want this Xiaosu to go to the department store in Suzhou to see if there is any good one.
